It's a great language with a fair bit of quirks and rough edges because Araq (the creator) cares more about tinkering with ideas than polishing a mass-adopted lang.People already used to WIP or alt-langs won't care too much about this. But if your only experience is Python or other Top 10 langs, the quirks, lack of libraries, tooling, docs, etc might be a culture shock. Especially the libraries for Python people, as a huge complaint of Nim vs even other alt-langs, is a rather slim library. (And Nim 3 is shrinking it even more).Currently, Nim 2 should be considered maintenance mode, so don't write anything you don't mind porting later.As for Nim 3, it seems a lot more promising, and Araq seems to be taking compiler infrastructure more seriously. Currently it's vaguely alpha and subject to readily breaking changes, so i'd check back in ~6 months unless you don't mind bleeding-edge woes.
